I would encourage parents dissatisfied with the current choice of schools and the temporary measures being introduced to fix the shortage of places to join the many who have registered their interest with our campaign for a new Free School.

You can find lots of information here http://www.primroseprimary.com/register or you can email me directly at freeschoolcampaign@gmail.com.

Our proposal - a hefty 8,000 word piece of work - is written and will be submitted to the government before the Friday deadline for a September 2011 opening. I can't promise we will succeed in getting approval for a new school but I can say with certainty that it is needed.

The council has done a fine job of finding places with the resources it has but we say, and so do they, that these resources are inadequate to cope with the pressure on places.

I will be at the Kilmorie consultation - I have applied there for my daughter as it's our nearest school - but I do agree that 6pm is a very awkward time.

If there are parents who feel strongly opposed to Kilmorie becoming 3 form entry. Please contact me as soon as possible. It would be very helpful to our proposal.

Also, if you can't make the consultation but want your voice to be heard, make sure you are represented.
